For authors
Submit a manuscript
Download the three forms, prepare your paper to house format, then email everything to the editorial office. There is no online form and no account to create.
Downloads & forms
The author declaration and copyright form must be signed by every co-author and sent with the manuscript. A submission without it is returned before editorial screening.
Preparing your manuscript
- Submit in English, as an editable
.docxor LaTeX source. PDF-only submissions are returned. - Include a structured abstract of 250 words or fewer, and 4–6 keywords.
- Use IEEE-style in-text citations with a numbered reference list.
- Number figures and tables sequentially, and reference each one in the text.
- Strip all author-identifying information from the manuscript body for double-blind review — including self-citations phrased as “in our previous work”.
- Supply a separate title page carrying full author names, affiliations, ORCID iDs and the corresponding author’s contact details.
- State funding sources, data availability and any conflicts of interest in a declarations section.
Data and code
Where results depend on a dataset or model, deposit it in a public repository and cite
the DOI, or state plainly why you cannot. We do not require open data, but we do
require an honest availability statement.
Sending your submission
When the forms are filled in and signed, email everything to editorial@ijfest.org.
Attach:
- The anonymised manuscript, in editable
.docxor LaTeX source. - The separate title page.
- The signed author declaration and copyright form.
- A conflict of interest form for each author who has interests to declare.
Use the manuscript title as the email subject. You will receive an acknowledgement with a reference number, usually within two business days — quote that reference in all later correspondence.
